Question

Yasha swam in a pool the size of the NxM meters and was tired. At this point, he discovered that he was at an X-meter distance from one of the long sides (not necessarily from the nearest one) and the Y meters from one of the short sides. What is the minimum distance Yasha must travel to get out of the pool to the side?

Input format

The program receives the entry of the number N, M, X, Y.

python

Answer 1

N=float(input("Enter Value of N: "))       #taking input for N
M=float(input("Enter Value of M: "))       #taking input for M
X=float(input("Enter Value of X: "))       #taking input for X
Y=float(input("Enter Value of Y: "))       #taking input for Y

if N>M:
    length=N
    breadth=M

else:
    length=M
    breadth=N

print(f"minimum distance is: {min(X,Y,breadth-X,length-Y)}")       #min function will return the min of all the numbers

you can copy paste the following code::

N=float(input("Enter Value of N: "))       #taking input for N

M=float(input("Enter Value of M: "))       #taking input for M

X=float(input("Enter Value of X: "))       #taking input for X

Y=float(input("Enter Value of Y: "))       #taking input for Y

if N>M:

    length=N

    breadth=M

else:

    length=M

    breadth=N

print(f"minimum distance is: {min(X,Y,breadth-X,length-Y)}")       #min function will return the min of all the numbers
